95. OM SARVADHARSHANAYA NAMA: ॐ सर्व धर्शनाय नम:
He exhibits His majesty to devotees.
In Naimisharanyam the holy pond is called Chakra Theertham. Nemi means the Lord's discus and since it fell in this place, it got the name Naimisharanyam. To wash off blood stains, Nemi or Chakra, bathed in this pond and so it is called Chakra Theertham. A dip in this pond will get us Moksham. Sarvadharshana means the Lord exhibits all His majesty and greatness. Earlier, we saw the Lord does so many unimaginable tasks to infuse faith in Him. Karma kanda of Vedas are in a way do this. While preaching Gita, the Lord graced Arjuna with His gigantic Vishwaroopam, so that Arjuna gets faith in Him. Many do not realize the Lord in spite of His exposition. Thiruppanalwar was born in a community considered to be lowly. So, he never came into Srirangam temple; but prayed the Lord by singing from the banks of river Kaveri. Once Lokasaranga, a brahmin, wanted the Alwar to give way for him to go to temple. Thiruppanalwar was engrossed in his singing and so did not notice, Lokasaranga, who threw a stone at the Alwar, which injured him. Alwar coming to his senses, apologised and gave way. But in the temple Lokasaranga did not get the grace of the Lord and he was told that he had disrespected a great Bhakta. Lokasaranga rushed back to fetch Thiruppanalwar, who refused to set foot in the temple. To honour the Lord's order, Lokasaranga carried Thiruppanalwar on his shoulders and brought him inside the temple. Alwar saw the Lord and His greatness and he sang the famous Amalanadhipiran, describing the Lord's various organs. In the pasuram he says kaatave [காட்டவே], meaning He showed or exposed Himself and the Alwar could appreciate. This Divine name sarvadharshanaya is also a mantra and when properly meditated, eyesight problems can be rectified.
10th sloka:
